Huge stylish northport banner

Here lives the northport kernel (npk) and some support libraries. This is the third iteration of this project, for previous attempts see the iteration-X git branches. The kernel currently only supports x86_64, ports for m68k and aarch64 are planned.

To get started building or hacking on northport, you can clone the master branch of the repo and run make for further instructions.

Northport is my personal hobby operating system - it's not something that I would recommend for any serious usage. There may be bugs, and my responses may take time. I do still appreciate any reports sent my way though.

Project Goals

  1. To build a usable and relatively complete kernel. It should also be extensible (via drivers) to add support for new architectures, platforms and devices.
  2. The system should be self hosting, including cross compiling.
  3. Useful documentation, not just the external interfaces, but the internal workings.

Glorious Screenshots

coming soon (tm) - currently there's not much going on, and much less to look at.
